Securities Fraud

DRC works with firms that represent public corporations, individual officers, directors of corporations, accounting firms, and others in complex securities litigations. We understand the challenges of explaining complex banking and financial transactions to jurors and are able to identify and provide strategies to counteract biases jurors may have against financial institutions.

DRC recently assisted a client accused of securities fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Prior to our client’s trial, we oversaw a shadow jury during the earlier-scheduled trial of our client’s alleged co-conspirator. The shadow jury provided us with rapid feedback on the witnesses and arguments presented during the trial.

We also conducted a multi-day focus group to test jurors’ responses to the themes and arguments of the case, analyzed the deliberations, and recommended strategies to effectively counter the Government’s arguments, educate jurors, and capitalize on pro-defense trends.
